Since its launch, the UP Program has supported tech startups at different stages of maturity, with one simple goal: helping them build, deploy and scale their product on a robust cloud foundation, without turning infrastructure into an operational bottleneck.
Cybersecurity, health, legaltech, agriculture: this fifth selection once again reflects the diversity of the use cases supported by Clever Cloud. It brings together projects operating in demanding environments, where reliability, security, data control and the ability to scale quickly become decisive factors.
UP Program: the startups selected for this fifth edition
Sentibee — Simplifying vulnerability intelligence
Sentibee develops a vulnerability intelligence solution designed to help organisations better prioritise cyber risks.
Its goal is to reduce noise, contextualise alerts and turn complex data into truly actionable insights. The platform combines data collection, AI-powered qualification and human expertise to help teams understand what really matters: exploitability, real-world impact, priority level and the actions to take.
With VulnPilot, Sentibee also enables organisations to build watchlists, monitor critical assets or technologies, and generate prioritised action plans. A pragmatic approach to cybersecurity, designed to make vulnerability intelligence clearer, more useful and more accessible.
Pictaderm — Dermatological expertise in pharmacies
Pictaderm makes it easier to access dermatological advice through partner pharmacies, without an appointment.
The solution allows a patient to visit a pharmacy for a skin condition or a lesion that needs monitoring, and receive the opinion of a medical expert within 48 hours. Pictaderm addresses a concrete challenge: bringing medical expertise closer to the field, in a context where access to dermatology appointments can involve long waiting times.
The platform relies on a network of registered pharmacies and has already supported several tens of thousands of patients. For pharmacists, it provides a tele-expertise tool that helps guide patients more quickly and strengthens their role in the care pathway.
Legaia — An AI legal assistant designed by lawyers
Legaia develops Gaia, an AI legal assistant available directly by email and designed for lawyers.
The promise is simple: enabling law firms to use AI without changing their working habits. No new platform to open, no additional tool to learn: the lawyer simply forwards an email to Gaia and receives an initial analysis, search, draft or translation.
The solution covers several day-to-day use cases: drafting letters, searching case law, numbering and stamping exhibits, retrieving official documents or translating attachments. Legaia also places strong emphasis on security, confidentiality and compliance, which are essential requirements for professionals handling sensitive documents.
Cockpit Agriculture — Managing agricultural performance
Cockpit Agriculture develops an intelligent performance management solution for farmers and their value chains.
The startup is part of an augmented agriculture approach: helping agricultural stakeholders gain greater control, better monitor their activity and make more reliable decisions. In a sector facing strong economic, environmental and operational constraints, the ability to manage performance and make decisions with confidence is a key issue.
With this approach, Cockpit Agriculture addresses a central need: giving farmers and agricultural value chains tools designed to fit the realities of the field.
A batch that reflects the challenges faced by tech startups
The four startups in this new selection operate in very different sectors, but share several common points.
They all develop products where technology is not just a support function, but a central part of the value proposition. They also address use cases where trust is central: cyber vulnerabilities, care pathways, legal documents and agricultural management.
In these contexts, cloud infrastructure must remain reliable, scalable and under control. It must allow teams to iterate quickly, secure data, absorb growth and maintain a high level of availability, without diverting them from their core business.
This is precisely the role of the UP Program: supporting startups at the stage where infrastructure becomes a strategic topic.
The UP Program: a support framework designed for the long term
The UP Program was designed to support startups beyond their first cloud credits.
Selected startups benefit from a set of resources to help them structure their technical trajectory:
— up to €10,000 in cloud credits for the first year;
— onboarding on the Clever Cloud platform;
— training with Clever Cloud engineers;
— monthly coaching;
— access to support;
— workshops and masterclasses for technical teams;
— mentoring for founders and product teams;
— visibility through Clever Cloud media, social networks and events;
— access to financial planning and structuring tools.
The goal is to allow startups to focus on their product, their users and their market, while building on an automated, robust infrastructure capable of scaling with them.
